CATCH A MOVIE – OR SEVERAL FOR THAT MATTER

If parties are not your thing, there are plenty of movies worth catching at various venues.

The Projector, for instance, is debuting The Whale (pictured) this week. The film has been garnering plenty of Oscar buzz, especially for lead actor Brendan Fraser’s stirring performance as a reclusive English teacher who attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter. And if you’re into culinary experiences, The Projector is also offering up a special six-course set dinner to go with a screening of the dark comedy horror piece The Menu, which has been designed to mimic the feast you see in the film (minus the sinister bits).

Over at ArtScience Museum, the ongoing film festival dedicated to legendary Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto will wrap up this weekend – so if you’re a fan, be sure to head over to the museum to catch the last screenings. More details here.

There’s a smorgasbord of material available now on Netflix that would be perfect for homebodies. For starters, there’s the highly anticipated second season of the dystopic survival series Alice in Borderland (pictured), which has quickly become the streaming service’s most-watched Japanese show ever ,since it was released on Dec 22.

Then, there is Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the follow-up to the well-received original, which has racking up glowing reviews and massive numbers since it released on December 19. As of press time, the show has amassed 82.1 million hours of streaming views, according to Netflix.

Meanwhile, arthouse fiends can check out auteur Guillermo del Toro’s take on the classic tale Pinocchio, a meticulously crafted masterpiece that looks likely to be the first stop-motion film to land a Best Picture nomination for next year’s Oscars. Critics are certainly taking to it, with the film currently possessing a 97 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

And of course, if you simply want a mindless series to binge on, there’s the third season of Emily In Paris, the titular character of which is supposedly better dressed to battle all her dramas this season (with a new costume designer on board). Judge for yourself.
